“The large ecosystems of projects using the GPLv2 and LGPLv2.x licenses will benefit from adoption of this more balanced approach to termination derived from GPLv3,” explained Red Hat in a press release announcing the new license-compliance partners.

The companies which have agreed to adopt the “Common Cure Rights Commitment” said before they file or continue to prosecute those accused of violating covered licenses, they will allow for users to cure and reinstate their licenses. (More of the specific legal language around this is in Red Hat’s press release.)
